The construction industry has a poor record on health and safety, averaging 40 injuries in the UK annually, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reports. This is more than any other industry.
In addition, there were over 61,000 non-fatal injuries in the construction industry in the latest year for which data is available. This gives it the third-highest rate of non-fatal injuries out of all sectors. These injuries lead to excessive costs and immeasurable pain and suffering experienced by those affected.
Employers also have a legal duty to protect employees, contractors, or anyone else who may be affected by construction activities. Under legislation, employers must conduct risk assessments, reduce risk to reasonably practicable levels and provide all employees with sufficient knowledge, instruction and training.
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 also outline the duties of employers. It is to ensure anyone on-site has the necessary training and competence to carry out their work in a healthy and safe manner.
